Just innocently refilling the Pyxis machine in the hospital, and overhear the string of profanities and whining curses (of the patient on his cell phone in an ER cubicle behind a curtain). Then, I hear the curtain being pulled back and 'Oh, hi officer, we were just at the bar ...'. Sometimes selective hearing is a skill to be honed.

Oh...never bite a married woman on the thighOh my, not on the thighOf course she just can't wash it off no matter how she triesOh my, she'll tryAnd when she gets home at night her husband's gonna ask her, "WhyIs there a tooth mark on your thigh?"And she'll say it's just a birth mark or some other silly lieOh my, she'll tryBut he'll get suspicious and then he will start to pryOh my, isn't he slyAnd then, then, then she'll admit to everything and he will say, "Bye bye,Bye bye!"He's gonna flyAnd then he'll say, "I don't blame you, but tell me who's the guy?"That guy was IAnd then he'll come and find you and he'll punch you right in the eyeOh my, right in the eyeAnd and then he...And then he'll rent a cheap hotel room and he'll hang himself with his tieOh my, his brand, his brand new tieAnd then she'll take a overdose of sleeping tablets and she's gonna lieOn the couch and dieSo never never never never never never neverBite a married woman on the thigh."
